A/HRC/38/32/Add.1 91. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Ivorian Government to disseminate clear information on the content of the current Education Act and on its education policy, so as to ensure the effective implementation of the Act. 92. Côte d’Ivoire is also encouraged to ratify the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families with a view to implementing the articles on the right to education contained therein. Strengthening the teaching profession and improving the quality of the education system 93. To ensure quality teaching, it is important to continue providing incentives for teachers in both the public and private sectors and to recruit teachers for basic education who have obtained an upper secondary leaving certificate at least. In addition to the capacity-building programme for teachers, a follow-up, evaluation and skills development component delivered by senior teaching staff should be available and operational, where necessary. The Special Rapporteur encourages the Government to provide additional teachers in disciplines such as mathematics, French and English. 94. The Government is also encouraged to use information and communications technology to develop specific capacity-building programmes for teachers and literacy facilitators. 95. The Government should ensure that teachers in Catholic, Protestant and Qur’anic schools receive the training they need to be able to fulfil their commitment of providing quality education to students. 96. The Government should develop a special programme for the training and local supervision of volunteer teachers and literacy facilitators. 97. To improve the quality of primary and secondary education, the Government should continue revising the curricula of teacher training colleges to take into account the challenges of providing sustainable, inclusive, quality education with due regard for specific cultural and environmental factors. 98. With respect to higher education, the system of bachelor’s degrees, master’s degrees and doctorates needs to be contextualized and adapted to the situation in the country, so as to increase students’ academic success and their employability following graduation. 99. The Special Rapporteur recommends that Côte d’Ivoire take measures to regulate the private sector in accordance with the principles of the right to education. The opportunity offered to Côte d’Ivoire by a civil society coalition to trial the use of human rights guidelines for private education providers is promising for the fight against the commercialization of education. 100. Côte d’Ivoire is encouraged to define and implement a strong, insightful and coherent strategy for drug control in schools, along the same lines as the “Zero Pregnancies at School” campaign. The role of parents and the community 101. Education is not only the Government’s responsibility; it is also a matter of social responsibility. Parents, teachers and communities have an important role to play in school management and the governance of education at the local level. The Government is encouraged to increase its efforts to include parents as key actors for improving education. Channels should be available for parents to report problems to the relevant authorities. Having established school management committees that serve as an entry point for the involvement of the community and parents in education, the Government has a duty to lend its support, including financial support, to those committees so that responsibilities may be shared. It would be useful to assess the governance of these committees on an annual basis in order to see what lessons can be learned and to capitalize on their achievements. GE.18-06824 15
